In collaboration with Solo Show, the exhibition presents 40 artists from around the world working through narrative atomization, stock characters, archetypes, avatars, and fan culture. Drawing its title from Hiroki Azuma’s landmark text, DATABASE ANIMALS tests the limits of his reading of Kojeve’s Hegel on animalized consumption in posthistory: what aesthetics thrive amid the demise of grand narrative?
